Victor Wainwright is a pianist, singer, composer, producer, and superb entertainer. With his wild, dynamic playing style that is infused with soul, he has captivated audiences worldwide for many years. His band has been playing together for a long time, resulting in an almost telepathic understanding between them. The horn section adds an irresistible spice to the overall experience, creating an unparalleled amalgam. The result is original music that balances on a fine line between academic respect and anarchic irreverence. Wainwright reimagines the boogie-woogie tradition, driven by his compelling piano style. He fearlessly explores the full spectrum from Latin American flavors and New Orleans piano to near-psychedelia. It's a musical cocktail, served up by Wainwright's inimitable, gravelly vocals.
Born into a musical family in Savannah, Georgia, the formative influence of his father's vocals and his grandfather's rolling boogie-woogie piano compelled Wainwright to devote his life for music. He has won a total of six Blues Music Awards, a long list of Blues Blast trophies, reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Top 10, and was nominated for a Grammy in 2019. But rather than revel in past achievements, this rising star would prefer you join him on the journey ahead.
Tickets are CHF 75.
